About Linalool: 

Linalool is known as a monoterpenoid, that is, it is octa-1,6-diene substituted by methyl groups at positions 3 and 7 and a hydroxy group at position 3. It is found as a major component of essential oils of several aromatic species. It is extracted from plants like Ocimum canum, further serving as a volatile oil component and an antimicrobial and a fragrance agent. It is widely utilised in perfume compositions of almost all types.

Chemical Formula of Linalool: 

• C₁₀H₁₈O

Synonyms:

• 78-70-6
• 3,7-Dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol 
• 3,7-Dimethylocta-1,6-dien-3-ol 

Molecular Weight: 

• 154.25 g/mol

Industrial Uses: 

• Denaturants
• Air care products
• Flavour and fragrance ingredient
• Cosmetics and personal care products
• Aroma chemicals

Production Process: 

• Production of Linalool from 2-methyl-2-hepten6-one; via Fractional Distillation and Subsequent Rectification of Oils containing Linalool; via Hydrogenation of  α-pinene from Turpentine Oil; and via  Pyrolysis of _-pinene

While producing Linalool from 2-methyl-2-hepten6-one, 2-methyl-2-hepten6-one is transformed into Linalool in excellent yield using base-catalysed ethynylation with acetylene to dehydrolinalool, which subsequently undergoes selective hydrogenation to convert the triple bond to a double bond using a palladium-carbon catalyst.
